Donkey Kong has an alternate costume based on his secret boss fight in the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!'' The costume has no gameplay effects. It also has green and blue recolors so that it can be used in [[Team Battle]]s. The green color on Donkey Kong third ''Punch Out!!'' outfit is based on [[Little Mac]] and his default white recolor has its necktie changed from red to blue, in reference to [[mariowiki:Super Kong|Super Donkey Kong]] from ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country Returns|Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.

*Donkey Kong is one of the only two characters to be equipped with two [[spike]]s, alongside {{PM|Roy}}, who coincidentally shares the same falling speed.
